Magnemite 7/75 · Neo Discovery

Neo Discovery is a set in the Neo series. It was released on June 1, 2001. The printed size is 75, and the checklist is the same length. Magnemite is 7/75, in position 7 of 75 on this checklist. Before it is 6 Kabutops, and after it is 8 Politoed. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Magnemite is a Basic Metal Pokémon with 40 HP. The card lists level 16. In the Pokédex this is Magnemite (#081), generation 1 (Kanto). The card lists Magneton, Magneton (#082) under evolves to.

K. Hoshiba, CR CG gangs illustrated this card. The same name is on 6 other cards in the catalog.

Magnemite (#081) has 45 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 35 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Magnemite 53/102 in Base (1999). Both list 40 HP. The rarity there is Common, and here it is Rare Holo. Keiji Kinebuchi illustrated that card, and K. Hoshiba, CR CG gangs illustrated this one. 33 other cards of Magnemite list a different HP.

The attack Lock-on lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. During your next turn, treat any tails flipped when using Magnemite's Electric Bolt attack as if they were heads. (Benching or evolving either Pokémon ends this effect.) Electric Bolt is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless. Flip 2 coins. If both are heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. If either of them is tails, this attack does nothing (not even damage). Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Grass -30. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "These Pokémon are attracted to electrical emissions and will often follow people using PokéGear."

I keep a set binder for Neo Discovery, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Neo Discovery set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Magnemite can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
